Miss Frfssy cnoKea, tnea to go on, Hnd then broke down and cried heartily nil without restraint. In all the years since the death of Captain Allen Miss Tempy had never Kpf-n her common sense, practical sister give way like this. The sight alarmed her much more than the story of the financial situation had so far done. She didn't fully understand the latter yet, but every one of Miss Prtssy's sobs was to her a call for help that needed an Immediate answer. "There, there, there, dear! she said, running to tho other rocker and putting her arm around her sister's beck. "You poor thing? You mustn't cry like that. You've Jest worried yourself sick. You're all worn out. I shouldn't be surprised if you've got a little cold, too, in that drafty nchoolhouse. Let me make you a good, big cup of pepper tea right away; now do." Miss Irissy turned a sob into a feeble laugh. "Oh, dear me, Tempy," she said, laying her hand on the other's arm, "I b'lieve you think pepper tea'll cure anything, even an empty pocketbook. I wish 'twould pay bills; then, I don't know but I'd drink a hogshead. But It won't, nor cryin won't, either. Set down, and I'll tell you jest how things are." So Miss Tempy, reluctantly giving up the "pepper tea" Idea for the present, went back to her chair, and Miss Vnmy continued. "The money In the Boston savin's bunk Is gone," she said, "and a year or more ago I wrote to the broker folks

that bought the bond for us when father died, and they sold It for me find got a little less than a thousand dollars for It. I put the money into the bank at Ilamiss, and, though I've tnVd my best to be economical, there ain't but five hundred and eighty left. That and tho place here Is all we've KOt." In a bewildered fashion Miss Tenapy tetrove to grasp the situation. "Then we're poor," she said, "real poor, and I thought we was rich. Well, I shall give up that new bonnet I was Coin' to have next spring, and I s'pose I hadn't ought to subscribe to the Comforter either. I did think so much of it." "I'm afraid we'll haTe to give up more than the Comforter, Tempy. I've thought and thought till my poor head Is nearly worn through. We might sell the place here, but 'twould be like seiiin our everlastin souls if 'tain't unreiigious to say it and, besides, property at Orham Is so low now that we'd only get ha'f what It's worth, and when that money's spent there wouldn't be anything left." "Sell the place! Father's place! Why. Prissy Allen, how can you talfc so! Where would we live?"' "Well, we might hire a little house flown at South Orham or somewheres." "South Orham! Where all those Portuguese and things live? I'd rather die:' And it was Miss Tempy's turn to cry. "Yon needn't cry for that, Tempy. We won't sell yet awhile. Not till thfre nothin loft. But we can't have the barn shingled, and as for Bradley's Coin to college, that, I'm afraid. Is out of the question." "Oh. dear, dear! And the barn looks awful. Mellssy Busteed was sayin only last week that folks was wonfl'rin when we was goin to hare it fixed. And poor Bradley! My heart was set on his bein a minister. I don't know but I'd live In the poorhouse to make him one. They say Mr. Otis keeps a real nice poorhouse, too," ihe added. Miss Prissy smiled dolefully. "It hasn't got to the poorhouse yet." she eaM, "and I hope we can send Bradley through high school anyhow. But we'll hare to scrimp awful, and we must try to earn some money. I was talkln to Abigail Mullett at the church fair last August, and she spoke about those aprons and one thing another that I made and said she never saw such hemmln', and tuckin. She said fhe'd give anything If she could get somebody to do such work for her in . the dressmakln season. I're been thinkin maybe she'd put out some -of her work to me If I asked her to. She j tloes more dressmakln' than anybody ' around; has customers 'way over to Ostable and keeps three girls some- j times. And you know how the sum- j rner folks bought those knit shawls j of your. Terr.py. . Well. I don't doubt i yon could got orders for lots more. ttVll try. and we'll let Bradley start St high school and see how we make It go." So Miss Tempy brightened up. and In few minutes she had In her mind sold so many shawls and Miss Prissy Imd done so well with her hemming tind tucking that she saw them putting money In the bank Instead of taking It otit. In fact, she was getting rich so fast in her dreams that her nister didn't have the heart to throw more cold water at this time. And evn Miss Prissy herself felt unwarrantably hopeful. She had borne the family bnrdens so long that to share the knowledge of them with another was a great relief. They discussed ways and means for a half hour longer, and then Miss Tempy Insisted oa retting that "pepper tea. "I honestly believe." she said, "that! If I hadn't took pepper tea 'steady for the last four or five years I shouldn't be here now. That and Blaisdell's emulsion has given me strength to bear most anything, even the pros-; pects of the poorhouse. Thank good- j ness. I've got a new bottle of emulsion, and pepper tea's cheap, so I shan't , a. 1 1 i uave 10 K'p mai up even lr we are loorern Job's turkey." "AH right," sighed Miss Prissy. "If It'll make you feel any better to parboil my insides with hot water and Iepper, fetch it along. Don't say anything to Bradley about what we've been sayin. 'Twon't do any good and will only make the poor child feel bad." But Bradley was not in the dining room. The book he had been reading wh turned fa-e downward on the table, but he was gone, and so was Lis hat. "Why, I neverl"' exclaimed Miss Tempy. "lie never went out an evenIn" before without sayin' anything to me or vou. What do you s'peee is the

maim "You don't think he heard what we said, do you?" anxiously a3ked her sister. "I thought I shut the door." "You did fehut it, but, now you speak of It, scorns to me I remember it was not latched when I come out jest how. I hope he didn't hear. He's such a sensitive boy, jest like all the Aliens." The "pepper tea" was prepared a double dose this time and the sisters tat sipping it. Miss Prissy with many coughs and grimaces and Miss Tempy with the appreciation of a connoisseur. After a moment's silence she said: "Prissy, do you know what I've been thinkin'? I've been thinkin what a blessin' 'twould be if we had Cap'n Titcomb to go to for advice now." "Humph! If I're thought that once I're thought. It a million times In the last year," was the decided answer. It was after 10 o'clock, and only Bradley's absence had prevented the ladies from going up to bed, when the outside door of the dining room opened, and the missing boy came in. "Bradley Nickerson, where've you been?" exclaimed Miss Tempy, running to meet him. "We're been pretty nigh worried to death. Why don't you shut the door? Aho's that out there? Why why, Cap'n Titcomb" "What's that?" cried Miss Prissy, hurrying in.. "You don't meanWell! Good evenin. Cap'n Titcomb. Won't you step In?" The captain accepted the Invitation. ITe wa3 as much embarrassed as the old maids, even raoe so than Miss Prissy, who immediately,- after a swift side!ng glance of disapproval at her agitated sister, assumed an air of dignified calmness. "How d'ye do. Prissy?" stammered the captain. "Tempy, I hope you're well. Yes, I'm feelin' fair to middlin'. No, thanks. I ain't goin to stop long. It's pretty late for calls. Fact Is, Brad here's got somethin to say. Ileare ahead. Brad." The boy, too, was embarrassed, but as the two looked at him expectantly he fidgeted with a button on his jacket and said: "Miss Trissy, I didn't mean to listen, but the door wasn't shut tight, and I couldn't help hearing what you and Miss Tempy were saying a little while ago." "There!" exclaimed Miss Tempy. "I was afraid of that door. You remember I said so, Prissy." But Miss Prissy didn't answer. She merely looked at Bradley. "I heard what you said," nervously went on the boy, "and when you told about what you was going to do so's I , could go to high chool, I I thought ; first I'd come right In and tell you you mustn't. But then I thought you j wouldn't believe I meant it or wouldn't pay any attention to it If I did, 60 I went outside to think It over by myself. And then then I went right up to see the cap'n." "I hope," said Miss Prissy sternly, "that you didn't repeat our talk to Cap'n Titcomb without tellin us you was goin to." ; "No, no; he didn't," hastily broke In A. 1 A. 1 ..TV. Jl I M i. . . 11 ."1 I iue cupLttiii. lie uiuu i ten a. wuru. You've got a pretty fair kind of boy here, if you want to know," he added, with more than his usual enthusiasm. "Ilum!" was Miss Prissy's only comment. "Go on, Bradley." "All I told him was," said Bradley, "that I didn't think It was right for me to go to school and college when I ought to be earning some money. I'm going on seventeen now, and lots of fellows I know are going to work. I don't b'lieve I'd make a very good minister," with a look of appeal at Miss Tempy, "and I'd a good deal rather go to sea. All our folks have been to sea my father and my grandfather. Yes, and your father, too, you know." The last as a happy Inspiration. "Don't you think that we know best what" began Miss Prissy, but the captain again interrupted her. "Let him spin his yarn, Prissy," he said. "Nothin' is settled yet, so don't worry." "So I went to the cap'n," went on Bradley, "and asked him if he'd take "me on board his schooner. I ain't a sailor, but I know a lot about boats, and I don't get seasick even when it's mighty rough. Do I, Cap'n Ezra?" "No," replied Captain Titcomb gravely. "You manage to keep your carg from shiftin pretty well for a green hand." "And he said he'd take me as a kind of cabin boy. Didn't you, cap'n? And learn me things and get me advanced as soon as I was fit for it. And he'll pay me wages, too, right away. There I And I won't cost you a cent more. Please let me go." The captain did not again visit the Allen home, although next day Bradley called cn him at his room In the hotel. They talked of the proposed plan,' of course, but Captain Titcomb did not urge Its acceptance. On the contrary, he spoke very plainly of the disagreeable features of a sailor's calling and hinted that being aboard a vessel was like being in jail. "Only," he said, "there's always a chance for a feller to break out of jail." At the end of the interview he said: "Brad, I ain't askin' any questions 'bout what made you take this sudden fit. but I'd like to know this: Do the old maids know' 'bout that Sampson fund for sailors' children? They could git over a hundred a year out of that if they applied for it. you understand?" "I don't believe they'd take a cent if it was anything like charity," replied the boy. "Miss Prissy especial. She's awful down on folks that she says are living on charity." "Urn, hum! I see. Well, I know a feller that's one of the head cooks and bottle washers of the Sampson crew. Maybe I could rig it so's Well, never mind. Don't say nothin yet." Three days later it was settled. Bradley was to go to Boston the following Monday with Captain Tit jrmb and ship with him as the combination "boy and roustabout" for a period of three months. Keally, it was settled when the captain suggested it, but it took some time for the old maids to formally make up their minds to the decided change. Monday DirMioz Bradley' trunfc was

The old maids wept over him. maids wept over him, and Miss Prissy told him to be a good boy and write once a week at least. Miss Tempy said: "Remember, Bradley, you're an Allen now, and you must live up to the family. Oh, Prissy, don't it seem jest like it used to when father was goin on a voyage? -Bradley's growin' to look so like him." And the sisters went Into the house to cry together. CHAPTER VI. HE Thomas Doane, seen from the wharf in the faint light of the street lamp, was a mere shape of blackness. with masts like charcoal marks against the sky and a tangle of ropes running up to meet them. The windows of the ! after deckhouse were illuminated. however, and as Bradley and the captain stepped from the wharf to the rail and from that to the deck a man came up the companionway from the cabin and touched his hat. "Howdy, cap'n?" he said. "Glad "to see you back. Everything runnin smooth down home?" "Yup," answered the skipper; "smooth as a smelt. How's it here?" "Shipshape," was the reply. "Brad," he said, "this Is Mr. Bailey, the first mate. He'll be your boss, next to me, after tomorrer. Mr. Bailey, this is a new hand. He hasn't exact ly shipped yet, so you needn't break him in tonight unless your conscience troubles you too much." The mate held out a hand like a ham corered with red sole leather, and Bradley shook it fearfully. That night Bradley slept in the sec ond mate's room off the cabin, but it was understood that hereafter he was to bunk forward with the crew. The next morning the captain took him up to a store on Commercial street, where a sailor's bag was purchased, for, so the skipper said, nobody but a landlubber took a trunk to sea. It must be either a chest or a bag, and 'the chest would come later on. Bradley trans ferred such of his belongings as the captain dimmed necessary from the trunk to the bag, and the trunk Itself was stored in the wharfinger's office until its owner should call for it some time in the future. The second mate, a thin young man, with hair and face both a flaming red, came on board in the morning, and the crew were already there. Then a tug took the Thomas Doane in tow and pulled her out of the dock and around to another wharf, where she was to receive her cargo of lumber. And from the moment when the tug's hawser was attached Bradley began to

realized what Captain Titcomb had meant by some advice which he gave the previous night. It was "Here, boy, stand by to take a hand with that rope," or "You, boy what's your name git a bucket and swab up that mess on the deic. Lively! D'you hear?" The cook was a little Portuguese, and he delighted to haze his new assistant, so when, at 9 o'clock or so, Bradley tumbled into his bunk in the smoke reeking fo'castle he. was tired enough to drop asleep even in the midst of yarn and profanity. The lumber, in the hold and on the decks, was at last on board, and one morning the schooner, with all sail set, passed Minot's light, bound for New York. The afternoon of that day was a dismal experience for Bradley. the Thomas Doane was heavily loaded, and she swashed and wallowed through the good sized waves with a motion so entirely different from that the catboats which the boy had been used to that he was most heartily and miserably seasick. But seasickness and homesickness were forgotten on the day of the wonderful sail through Long Island sound. They passed schooners of all shapes and sizes, loaded till the decks were scarcely above water or running light and high in ballast. Sharp nosed schooners, with lines like those of a yacht, and clumsy old tubs, with dirty sails, with patches varying from new white to a dingy gray plastered all over them. Night, and they were fast to a big wharf, with lights all about them; lights piled, row after row, up to meet the stars; lights fringing the river or moving up and down and across It; lights in the arching curve of the bridge that Bradley had seen so often in pictures; whistles sounding, bells ringing, distant shoutings and the never ceasing undercurrent of hum and roar that Is New York, breathing steadily and regularly. On the following morning Captain Titcomb left the schooner and after an hour or two returned with a sharp eyed man. who smoked continuously, although the wharf signs shouted in six inch letters that no smoking was allowed, and who said little, but looked a great deal. Bradley learned from the cook, who had been along the water front and, having fallen in with some friends, was mellow and inclined to be confidential, that the sharp eyed man was Mr. Williams, the junior member of the firm that owned the Thomas Doane and half a dozen Other ronster .Continued Next Sunday.!

Germany at Jamestown Exposition. Naval, Military and Aeronautical Features Assured That Will Surpass Anything of the Kind Ever Attempted.

Norfolk, va., Jan. 6. (SpL) As might have been anticipated, the German government, when extended an invitation to participate in the celebration of the Ter-Centennial of America's birth, was not slow in appreciating the sentimental and historical significance of an event which involved such tremendous consequence to many of the Fatherland. The response to thi3 invitation was instantaneous and hearty, and in the congress of the nations which will assemble the best of their navies and armies on the waters and shores of Hampton Roads this year, the land of Emperor William will contest with England herself the palm for splendor and power. Germany will be represented by a squadron of her best war vessels, and possibly with one of the finest regiments of the most perfect military organization on earth, and the flag of the Fatherland in Virginia floating over such an assemblage of her power and her pride, will be the rallying sign for countless thousands of Germans and German-Americans and their children from every section of the land,' to flock to the Jamestown Exposition. Commissioner-General Kohlsaat, exposition representative in Europe, who had previously done work in Germany, has recently returned from another visit to that cotyatry with renewed assurance and larger acquisitions. During his stay Mr. Kohlsatt was received by the highest authorities, including the Ministers of State, Herr von Rheinbaben and Herr von Posadwsky who promised him every assistance in their power. German official circles backed by Emporer William are keenly awake to the necessity and importance of their country's representation among the powers of the world at the Jamestown celebration.

ship for America and the compliment to the great body of German-Americans Involved in the consideration merited but one response the concrete expression of which will be the material and naval display of this great nation upon the shores and waters of Hampton Roads during the coming summer. The Admiralty especially recognizes

the appropriateness of commemorating the landing of the first English settlers in America, and arrangements for the dispatch of the German squadron has been entrusted to Captain Stahmer, who is certain that at least three of Germany's finest cruisers will be sent. Definite decision as to the size of the German fleet will be reserved pending England's action in the matter. By virtue of power and position Britian is figuratively the dean of naval circles, setting the pace and defining the etiquette proper on occasions like this. The assured magnificence of England's representation at Jamestown will doubtless necessitate a greater display by Germany than is contemplated at this time. The CommissionerGeneral has been assured that a portion o the Garde du Corps. (Emperor's body guard) the finest regiment in the great. German army, together with one of the best military bands, will be sent to the exposition. Having in miiftl the fine displays given by the German Aeronautic sec tion at the Nilan Exposition.
